How long can a PKD patient live if only 23% kidney function is left? We all know dialysis or kidney transplant is needed to sustain life when kidneys shut down completely. PKD, the abbreviation of Polycystic Kidney Disease, is an illness that can cause severe impairment of kidney function. And also, with the decline of kidney function, patients’ life span decreases too. Well, for an individual with PKD, how long he can live if only 23% of his kidney function is left?

To be honest, 23% of kidney function is strong enough to help maintain one’s life. But in that cases, patients always suffer from a series of symptoms like poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, itchy skin, poor concentration and so on. Many medications are needed to get these sufferings under control, so that they can live better. With these medications, many patients believe they are taking treatment to manage their illness and they can live well with treatment. But actually it is not like what they think. And what they done is far from enough for them to live a real longer and better life.

For PKD patients whose only have 23% kidney function left, if they just take oral drugs to treat symptoms, they will definitely require dialysis or kidney transplant at last. And this may take only several years or several months. When they are on dialysis, their life span decreases severely with the duration of dialysis.

However, if they can stop illness progression and protect residual kidney function from being impaired, their life span will not be affected, which means they can live as longer as they should. In cases of PKD, kidney tissues are injured by the countless cysts. Also, with the increase and enlargement of kidney cyst, more and more kidney tissues will be damaged. Therefore, to live a better and longer time, PKD patients must shrink kidney cyst and reduce cysts on kidney.

Surgery helps to remove cysts in kidney, but it only treats big cysts and also after surgery, small kidney cysts have enough space to become big. Therefore, surgery is not the best treatment method to deal with cysts on kidney. Even though, PKD patients should not be depressed, as herbal treatment-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help them achieve the goal of shrinking all the cysts in kidney at one time.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a treatment based on herbs and with the help of it, not only kidney cysts can be shrunk successfully, kidney function can be improved as well. Therefore, for PKD patients who have only 23% kidney function left, herbal treatment we mentioned just now should be first choice.
